zones and other controlls, in addition to specific data for the branch of

functions can be selected by simply turning the ferrule and the activation goes
via two buttons. The two liquid crystal displays have an high brightness backlit
system that can be activated by slightly pressing on the ferrule or also when
the user flexes his wristle for more than 35°. The user can also download
from the cronograph to his smartphone the values he mostly is interested in-

covering with carbon and the watch quadrant decorated with a blue symbol that
represents the wireless connection.

The B55 furthermore has a magnetic
connector for the power source that allows to charge the battery also via USB
connection. The lot is guaranteed to the wrist with a solid India rubber
watchband.Thanks to the bidirectional communication, the B55 and the
smartphone create a complementary duo in which eachone is called to make what it
can do better.
